The only really good way is time in the saddle -- the more long training rides you do ahead, the less pain you'll have on the ride itself. Training isn't just to get your muscles and cardiovascular system in shape; it also gets the rest of your body used to sitting in this weird position for hours at a time.

That said, some people swear by Butt'r, or other such gooey gels. I'm sure people here can weigh in on those, since I've never actually availed myself of them.
